Games that had multiplayer but shouldn't

"Oh, we have this rad license that we can make a really good game around. Eh. Fuck it. That'd be too much work. Let's just make it a shitty multiplayer deathmatch game and call it a day."

... such a fucking disappointment.

 

[beemoh]

Not being much of a fan of multiplayer, I'm tempted to go "any of them, ever", but that'd be unfair. Onwards:

GTA IV. The way the weapons work aren't geared for the kind of firefights you get in multiplayer- they're geared for the slightly more methodical and coreographed fights in singleplayer.

Samurai Warriors 2.

Fix'd that for ya.
Gears and Halo were MADE from their multiplayers.

Halo and Gears were not made for multiplayer besides maybe Halo3 at a push. To an extent they are multiplayer but in no way made for multiplayer as especially there system of weapons ie weapon pick ups is dated and should be done away for modern multiplayer shooters unless it is made like an old style shooter which they will never be as people can't seem to play unless their health regenerates or they have a ready healing item at their disposal(well I say this in most cases there are excepts where games you don't regenerate neither do you have handy healing items).

That is questionable. Halo 2's story mode was over very quickly. Halo 1's would have been over quickly as well if the maps weren't shit. ALso, I think your thought derailed halfway through because you lost me.

Them focusing on multiplayer is my exact reason why they should nto have had it. Maybe Halo 2 and 3;s stories would ahve been epic like 1's. Thats more for Halo though, My reasoining for Gears is that its glitchy as hell and also has spawned a mass of stupid fans who dont appreciate games that are actually good. Gears I just want them to stop being the Glitchiest Place on Earth and less mindless fans then I will not be so hateful towards it. Halo however should just never have gone online except online co-op.

First off, way to fail edit. GG. Second, way to rage at me and call me a fuckface. I didn't alter your opinion, I fix'd the quote to show mine. Nice spelling btw. Clever amirite?
Now, you seem to be a typical failitist. A troll that tries to be elitist, but ends up being worse than the frat boys that they are complaining about it seems.
You think that Halo had a good story? Bwuahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah*many hours of laughing later*
Oh you must be joking. The entire story for Halo is OH TEH NOES ALIENZ WE MUST FIGHT DEM 4 AMERICUH!!!11. Gears is similar. Now, why do I not hate these games? Because even though their stories were mediocre, their online multiplayers were some of the best for consoles. It is like DoW. Sure the story is sub par, and generic, but that doesn't mean the games aren't fun and have their place.
Of course, with both being so popular, there are bound to mindless fans. Like yourself. Hell, even amazing games like CoD4 or Fallout have over-zealous douchebags. That doesn't make the game bad automatically.

Yep, I fucked up on the editing and look the fool for it, but you are still a douche so I dont really care anymore about what you have to say. I amdit, I was not calm when writing that response, and thus my spelling suffered, but oh well. Really though, 'fixing' people's posts is a jerk thing to do, so dont do it to mine or anyone else's. Also, no, its not cause you are a lame Halo and Gears fan, but because you are just a douche. I would argue with you if you so wanted, if maybe you just disagreed with me but you chose to respond as you did, so I chose mine, and that and this are it. I like this one better though since I was calmer and had less spellign errors. (Dont know if tehre are none though)

Wow I messed up on my editing. So I just removed it all and left my response.

I actually prefer Halo and Gears of Wars multiplayer. There fun. But hey that's your opinon and I have mine.

My choice would have to be newest Civilation game. It was a laggy,Slow, and no one would start it unless you picked random.

Although i disagree about your opinion on the value of multiplayer (70% of the games i buy are for this), i completely agree with your opinion on GTAIV online. It's just filled with annoying 13 year olds with no life and even less vocal development. Weapons are pathetic, and sniper rifles along with a good few assault rifles and even sub machine guns are rendered worthless past 100 feet(ish). This is particularly infuriating when you see that the sniper rifles have Mil-Dot !!!!!!!!!RANGE ESTIMATING SCOPES!!!!!!!! Like seriously, what the F*CK. You can target people a quarter-mile away and enjoy the pleasure of not even hitting the person who walks through your line of sight 200 feet away.

Well, my hate for their multiplayer is not so direct. I played them both, and they were fun, its just whats spawned from them that I hate so much. Most of Halo's current fanbase is from multiplayer and many have not played the first Halo or even 2 or 3's story line. Gears is too glitchy, is my biggest reason agaisnt them. The number of complains I file increases 100 fold when I play Gears online because theres always someone glitching. Plus another game I hate their major fans. (Not all though, since you are one and I dont hate you, but you're not rabid like them)

Okay, you had to have all of those errors at the end on purpose, right? Come on, that is the definition of irony.
I will reply via fix'd post if I want, there is no rule against it, and it is only offensive if you chose to look into it too much like you did. As I ripped of Halo and Gears' story, and said that their only saving point was their multiplayer, I can see how you would mistake me for a fanboy /sarcasm.

Well Gears 2 has fixed a lot of problems (Even added bots in to replace rage quitters. There not the best players but it's a step in the right direction.) People are always gonna try to exploit glitches.It ain't right but that a fact of life.

I keep forgetting GTA4 even has multiplayer. It must be some kind of defensive reaction, I guess.

Basically what I was saying is half way through is that Halo and Gears have a dated way of doing multiplayer as the way forward is you spawn with the weapons rather than a rat run to the best weapons.

So in a way it is like say Quake but you regenerate your health if you catch my drift which is good but by far inferior to say Battlefield or Call of Duty's multiplayer style of weapons as in you spawn with what weapon you want rather than have people camping weapons.

I never said you are not allowed to do it, but that it is not something I look fondly on. I can't speak for others though. Also I am declaring this to be my last response to you since you are just proving more and more that you are just a huge jerk. Maybe you should be more like the other guy who was respectable and I appreciate that he was. I can be rabid fan-like, yes. I am very much one of the TES series, however I try to not be unreasonable. Say something you honestly think is bad about Morrowind or Oblivion, and I will try to disprove you or agree if tis true. Now I have to go, but I won't talk to you anymore anyways so it doesnt matter to you.

Bioshock 2's MP looks bad, but on the good side, it's being done by another studio. Yes, there's two studios working on the game, 2K Marin's doing the single player and Digital Extremes are doing the multiplayer.

Gears of War 2 was glitchy as hell.
Versus Mode in RE5 sucked and didn't fit into the game.
Lost Planet 2 multiplayer was boring and didn't bring anyting special, though that's largely due to the gameplay.
Vampire Rain didn't need it, and it was unbalanced

 

[domble]

The question is simple. Have you ever played a game with multiplayer but shouldn't have? Either the multiplayer is terrible, or the game itself doesn't suit itself for multiplayer.

My choice would have to be Lost Planet, as the single-player was bad enough, and having extra people fighting didn't help much.

Call of Duty 4 FOR STEALING MY LIFE 10 MINUTES AT A TIME.

Seriously I'm hooked, I can't stop.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Overlord, what pointless Multiplayer. I tried it once, and god was it boring.

 

[Megacherv]

Team Fortress 2...just joking...fucking love that game...

I'm not too sure. Any of the Tony Hawk games, multiplayer is reserved for parties, hence split-screen. Online just didn't see right. Mind you, it was my first online game on console.

 

[feather240]

Didn't one of the Metroid games have multiplayer? It seems kind of random for a game like that too have multiplayer. I mean the enemies in the game can survive multiple rockets and armoured transport ship blasts. Sounds very slow paced to me...

My main point is tht without multiplayer Gears and Halo would have nothing going for them. Personally, I am a fan of neither, I love my CoD and BF too much. But for consoles, Halo and Gears brought alot with their muultiplayer, too bad that their mediocre standard has been set as the bar for many games.
